Spanish Style Sweet and Sour Eggplant with Saffron Bulgur
We love experimenting in the Bistro kitchen, and we’ve always found regional cuisine to be an excellent source of inspiration whenever we want to try something new. There’s indeed no reason not to try new things nowadays, with the endless array of TV shows, magazines and cookbooks teaching us new culinary techniques and innovative flavour […]
Kamut Spelt and Whole Wheat Soda Bread
We’ll have to start by making a very humble admission: until just a few days ago, we had never made soda bread…. It’s not that we lack an interest in this topic. We’ve had several attempts at making different types of yeast bread, and achieved various levels of success with those. And we’re all huge […]
Breakfast Millet and Berries
I am very pleased to report that my Mummy and Daddy have finally understood the benefits of eating…. birdie food! When I woke up this morning, I was very happy to find Mummy cooking millet. Now before you rush into any conclusions, please rest assured that this wasn’t because our pantry was so bare that […]

There must be something magical about the mix of fruit, spices and citrus zest that can […]
Nettle Green Pea and Zucchini Tart

Yes, you read it correctly, nettles – the stinging variety, to be more precise 🙂 Daddy had never had cooked nettles before, but […]
Kamut Spaghetti With Asparagus Cavolo Nero and Pine Nuts
We’ve enjoyed some mild weather recently, which has also translated into a welcome change to lighter menus in the Bistro kitchen. After a really long winter this year, we’ve been more than happy to give up on stews that have simmered for ages, and make way for dishes that are part way between a cooked […]
Pumpkin Pie Brioche (from Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day)
Today’s post is inspired by one of the best acquisitions we’ve made lately: a book called Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François , which I’m sure many of you are already familiar with. To say that we love it, we love it, we love it would be quite an understatement, so we’ll try to […]
